Center Independent Research & Development: GSFC IRAD
Impact Energy Absorbing Matrix
Project Description
The goal of this IRAD is to produce a printed energy absorbing prototype that can be characterized and validated.
More »Anticipated Benefits
This research seeks to develop an energy absorption product that can be deterministically characterized, easily producible, tunable to the changing requirements of planetary landers. This technology would be transferable to many other energy absorption applications beyond planetary probes.
